yup, I hate em'! I used to love animals but uhhh no not anymore. Not to say I'd go out of my way to destroy any but I'm fed up with living with them. The dogs stay out of my hair to an extent but this stupid 01cat.. he just jumped on the keyboard.. the little furry bastard.
Yeah, I'm just tired of things harrassing me. Last night it's like 80 or 90 degrees in this room and I'm sleeping with no blanket and 2 fans on me and he seems to think "hey.. I'm going to sit on you like a big, moving, furry heat source. And I'd keep throwing him off of my bed (or my keyboard for that matter). Know I'm hypothesising that cats aren't that smart cause if I kept getting up on something and immediatly thrown off I'd stop doing it! He kept me up all night.
In other news I went to my dad's neighbor's bar mitzvah. That was a good time (except the service) I haven't seen those people in a while and they are nice people, it was good to catch up with them. Ok... they aren't orthodox jews but they go to a more or less orthodox temple and had the bar mitzvah on a saturday. For you goy sundown friday to sundown saturday is the shabbas (sabbath) and if you're an orthodox jew this means no work. No.. that isn't as cool as it sounds if you go through a jewish neighborhood on a saturday you'll see people walking to temple, you're not allowed to use cars or turn on electrical appliances like lights and air conditioning (they actually hire non-jews (goy) to turn that shit on in the temple.) But this also means that the bar mitzvah service goes from being maybe an hour to an hour and a half to... tah dah: 3 hours! That was kind of hellish, when we came in there was a little mini-rabbi leading the service. About half an hour in he stepped down and russel (the bar mitzvah boy) went to the alter and the kid sat near us. It was about this time that my brother started falling asleep and I swear that mini rabbi was staring daggers at my brother. He fell asleep about 10 times and that kid was pissed off at my brother. So yeah, 3 hours of a language I don't understand at all and a sermon from "rabbi jay." The only 3 hebrew words I know are "baruch attah adonai" and I only know what one of those means so yeah it was a looooooooooong 3 hours. Can't wait for my sisters bat mitzvah!
After the service was a brief little lunch in the room next door, they had bagels and what not. My dad took a picture of Aaron and myself at a table and this man sitting on the other room jumped out of his chair and was like "nooooo!" and ran over to my dad "You can't make light on the shabbas!" orthodox jews can be a little nutty, my dad chuckled, my brother suggested kicking him in the sack and we got the hell out of the temple and drove to the reception. Deanne (the neighbor's daughter that I used to play with as a little kid) put us at her table with her friends aaron and jessie who we were sort of friendly with so that was good, we weren't stuck at a table with people that sucked. The whole candle lighting ceremony had to be held a little later cause their relatives from england were bumped from their flight and were a little late or something (I don't know how that whole air travel thing works since the last time I was on a plane either regan or bush (the old one) was in office the one time I ever went on a plane) but they got their, we had the whole horah dance going and lit the candles. I swear they invited half of the people there up to light a candle, we even did it and we weren't the last people called up either. But yep, it was a good time, deanne made her english cousin say "purple" and "garage" over and over... see I don't understand this because she's from frickin' south africa and her parents say both words in a similar way but it was still entertaining to see someone annoy someone else.
yeah this is a marathon of an update.
I've decided work sucks a lot of ass. The other day I was thinking about the whole working there almost 4 years as a dependable employee and I make minimum wage. They treat me like crap there and customers are assholes. Earlier this summer I realized that maybe 1 our of 20 customers is actually an asshole, maybe even less but the assholes really stick out. Now I just don't give a shit cause I'm sick of work. I walked into the bottle redemption room and people piled trash in one corner of the room, guess who had to clean that up. I was pisssssseeeeeeeeed, I don't get paid enough to be going through trash. Tanya, one of my supervisors, is starting to piss me off. I'll walk in and you know.. I don't want to be there don't give me shit, she starts laughing and says "ahahahahah, guess what rob is going to have you do!" I kinda wanted to punch her at that point, don't do that shit to people when they walk in. A: the job rob had me do wasn't THAT bad and was less monotonous than being a cashier B: rob said it was ok to hit tanya so long as she doesn't get knocked over cause she's like a turtle and can't get back up. Yesterday they started passing out buttons for everyone to wear to promote a line of stop and shop brand cosmetics and I didn't put one on like most people and she just kept asking "where is your button? where is your button????" I was pretty close to telling her that if she asked me again she would be looking up her ass for it. Yes! Josh is disgruntled! They have us wearing pieces of flare at work for crying out loud, will they start asking us to make sure we put a cover sheet on our TPS reports next? Having 2 consultants named Bob come in to see if we're good for the company? Those fuckers still owe me money, they haven't paid me for the first week I worked!
It's ok, as of saturday I'm going down to the cape for a week, wellfleet to be exact. And my friend tamara lives in the town next to that so i'll probably hang out with her a bit. Just the break from work will be nice, I've worked every day this week (until I get to leave for vacation).
